Personal Notes:
Agnes is recorded as Agatha Bryce Austin in her baptism, the only official record of her birth. She was probably known as Agnes from an early age to avoid confusion with her mother (although her mother may also have been known as Agnes). Agnes was born at her parents residence at the Lawrence Hotel, Lawrence. Her father was the innkeeper there at the time, but sold out shortly after her birth.. The hotel where she was born was also owned for a time by her mother's father.

By the time of her baptism the family appears to have been living at Southgate across the Clarence River, where Lewis was a farmer. By the late 1878 the family was living in Grafton where they owned the property at the corner of Mary and Hoof Sts.

Agnes married Richard Jones in 1889 in the Anglican Church in Grafton (she appears to have been a Wesleyan). She had two children, Ethel Maud (who she probably named after her youngest sisters) and William Ernest. After living in Inverell, Cudgen and Coraki as a Policeman's wife, she died of cancer after a long illness at Coraki on 11 August 1913. Ethel was still living at home at the time, but Bill had left home to work in Brisbane.

The obituary in the Richmond River Herald on Friday 15 August 1913 states that her funeral "was one of the largest seen here for many years" although the list of pall-bearers were all police or town officials which would indicate that the turn-out was more because of her husband's position than personal regard for her.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
